I believe that if a child is getting any kind of handout such as free school lunch and they go on to a commit a crime they should at least get 2X the punishment. If you take handouts you owe it to society to be well behaved. I would even open correction camps that forces hard labor and painful punishment for any youth (or adults for that matter) in a welfare household who displays any acts of violence.
Have you seen this video of the performances at the Wisconsin State Fair? I think it shows not one black person in those staging the show.

Oh I'm sure it's just an isolated event. The "kids" got a little rowdy.
Oh and don't be bringing race into this because it was just a bunch of out of control kids who didn't mean anything.

It's nothing. Sweep it under the rug like all the other "incidents" that are happening in cities all across the US.

There is no pattern. There is no trend. You're all imagining that there are racial tensions brewing among the minority youth. If the national MSM didn't report it then IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

/sarcasm off

Me, I don't care why someone is attacking me, I don't ask questions to their reasoning, I just defend myself.
yet AGAIN, I don't agree with the actions of thugs either, BUT try to understand this. what's done is done. The seeds have been sown and now white people are reaping their harvest, though unfortunately it was done at the hands of our slave owning ancestors. It's not right but it's reality.

Do NOT blame MY ancestors! They had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with slavery!

And now with this economic downturn people are feeling at the brink. Can't say I don't understand why these people feel upset even if their anger is misguided.
What a great excuse! It's great because it can go on FOREVER since the history of slavery will always be there. These second class citizens (way too polite a term for them, btw) have had everything handed to them, even the TP they use to wipe their behinds. They are fed, sheltered, clothed, given medical care, by the taxpayers. You and your brainwashed thinking is EXACTLY the reason why these thugs are thugs. Go to the mirror and take a bow.

It's only reality if you're a delusional leftist. I say all the white leftists offer themselves up to the black thugs for a solid beating and let's get this done fair and square so we can all start fresh.

Anyway, you'd think these stupid thugs could at least ask each whitey they come across, "was your folks blue or grey in the war?"

Please direct me to a post within this thread where anyone defended the actions of these perps. I'll be waiting.......

I condemn the actions of these young people....but when you start a thread calling black people apes and condemning the black community as fatherless hoodlums, my desire to empathize with your POV is at zero.

Huh? No. Don't blame liberals, don't blame welfare, blame the people who did it & perhaps their parents as well. The State Fair is still a normal, non-violent event. This was an unfortunate incident.

Wow what a response. Very thought provoking. It's difficult to have a discussion with people who obviously aren't on the level. Moving on.
